  Abstract: The integrity of Eadic-Hofstee concept was tested for the determination of the functional coefficients and parameters of crude oil degradation kinetics. The techniques enhanced the relationship between the substrate divided by the specific rate of the substrate degradation against substrate concentration (TPH). The investigation reveals the values of the biokinetic parameters of maximum specific rate of substrate degradation (Vmax) and the equilibrium constant values of the substrate degradation (Ks). The …
